Close-out and report questions

Count the drawer by denomination, enter the counts and close the register. The POS compares what you counted with what it expected from the float, cash sales and cash in or out, and shows the difference. Then check card totals against your processor's batch. The whole close usually fits in a few minutes in the cab. See /blog/food-truck-end-of-day-close-out-checklist/ for a full checklist.

Expected is what the POS says should be in the drawer; counted is what you actually counted. Expected comes from your opening float plus cash sales, plus cash in, minus cash out and cash refunds. If counted is lower, cash went missing or a sale was rung wrong. If it is higher, a sale may not have been entered, which is common after a signal drop.

Yes. Sales reports split by location, so set up a festival or recurring event as its own location and you can compare it with your regular spots. On the Truck plan, event-by-event sales reports show what each stop actually made. That makes it easier to decide which event fees are worth paying next year and which spots to drop.

You get the end-of-day register report plus sales by item, category, payment method, staff and location. There is also a profit and loss view, expense tracking and a tax report. Most owners only read the close-out daily and look at items and locations weekly. Everything can be exported to a spreadsheet or PDF for your bookkeeper. See /help/read-your-end-of-day-report/ for a walkthrough.

Yes. Log expenses under categories like fuel, propane, commissary rent, permits and supplies, and they feed your profit and loss report. That shows what the truck actually earned after running costs, not just takings. Add expenses as they happen from your phone so the receipts do not pile up in the glovebox. Cash taken from the drawer for supplies can be recorded both ways.

Yes. Reports export to spreadsheet or PDF, so you can send your accountant the month's sales, taxes and expenses without retyping anything. Pick the date range, export and email it. Many owners send a monthly export and keep the PDFs as a backup record. If you ever leave, you can also export your data, which we keep for 30 days after you cancel.

Yes. The tax report totals the tax collected by rate for any date range, which is what you need when filing. Tax rates and tax groups are set up for your market, such as US state and local sales tax, UAE 5% VAT or Pakistan provincial sales tax. Filing itself is done by you or your accountant with your tax authority; we give you the numbers.

Yes. Sales by staff shows each person's sales, voids and discounts for the day or any range. Each staff member logs in with their own PIN on the Truck and Fleet plans, so sales are tied to the right person. That helps with commission, tip sharing and spotting a habit of heavy discounting. It also settles 'who rang that?' without an argument.

First check for sales you took during a signal drop and have not entered yet, since that is the most common cause on a truck. Then look for cash outs that were not recorded and card sales marked as cash by mistake, which the payment method report shows. Note the difference and the reason at close. A small, regular difference usually points to a habit worth fixing.

Close out and clock off.
